Go A's!!
It's about effin' time! The A's are officially in the playoffs, for the first time since 2006. They're in at least as a Wild Card, but if they win the next (and last) 2 games against the Texas Rangers, they win the division. How bout that? Supposed baseball "experts" projected the A's to lose 100+ games. The A's are currently tied for the 2nd best record in the American League, 92-68, only 1 game behind the best record. Suck it, "experts".
Oh, and tonight's win eliminated the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, the most ridiculous team name in all of sports, and the Tampa Bay (no longer the Devil) Rays. I have nothing against the Rays, since they're a small market, low payroll team like the A's, but the Angels......oh, those fuckin' Angels can suck it big time!!! I have a irrationally ginormous sports-hate for the Angels. They had that stupid ass rally monkey, they happen to beat the Giants in the 02 World Series, in the off-season, they signed the 2 biggest free agents, Albert Puljos & CJ "I hate Oakland" Wilson (he literally said that) to "help" their team. And then they have super rookie phenom Mike Trout, who, I won't even lie, is freakin' amazing and wish we had him on our team. But all that, and a payroll almost 3 times more than the A's ($154.9 vs $52.9 million), and no playoffs for you. Suck it, Angels. I hope you enjoy watching the post season from home.
